Hi
I wonder if kdevelop can do the following.
Assume the following C files:

main.c:

Code: Select all

 #include "hdr1.h"
  void main(void)
  {
    fun();
  }

hdr1.h:

Code: Select all

  void fun(void);

imp1.c:

Code: Select all

  #include "hdr1.h"
  void fun(void) {}

hdr2.h:

Code: Select all

  void fun(void);

imp2.c:

Code: Select all

  #include "hdr2.h"
  void fun(void) {}

Makefile:

Code: Select all

all: main.c imp1.c imp2.c
        gcc -c *.c
        gcc main.c imp1.c        !!! imp2.c not used !!!

clean:
        rm *.o a.out


Now when browsing main.c I want to jump to fun() definition.
Here the question. Will kdevelop show the list of 2 candidates to fump to:
1. fun() from imp1.c
2. fun() from imp2.c

or it will jump to the fun() from imp1.c which is correct in this example.

I'm not interested in the solution when I have to manually exclude any files from indexing.
It is because I want to use KDevelop for a large C project.
I dont know the relations between specific object files, headers and modules in this project.

I suppose that there must be an option to build the index when the project is build. It is utilizing the compiler to generate index.

thanks for help

It can't do that, for that it would have to understand how exactly your makefile compiles your project and that's not easily possible in the general case. You'll have to resort to exclusions.
